Northwestern National Casualty Co. v. Mays

Frank Holt, Justice.

Appellee sued appellant in a direct action to recover damages for personal injuries resulting from an automobile collision between appellant’s insured and appellee. The jury returned a verdict for appel-lee, leaving blank the line on the damages interrogatory where they were to insert a dollar amount if they found for appellee. Instead, beneath the interrogatory, the jury wrote the following:

@200 per month retroactive to the date of the accident, to be continued for the rest of Samuel’s natural life. We also recommend that all medical and legal fees to date be paid in full.
